Sidra loves to carry a messenger bag wherever he goes out, in which he puts his sunglasses, scarves, tissues, sunscreen, and some snacks. As his old bag is now dirty, he asked me to make him a new bag (and a wallet too, actually).
We found this cute cotton/linen fabric with robots pattern in Yuzawaya. The red fabric was actually toile fabric that I dyed red. The result is somewhat faded red, which I really like. I made up the pattern myself using CorelDraw! This bag has two pockets and an adjustable strap, I can just add another button (or move the existing one) if Sidra need a longer strap.
I love the bag, but the more important thing is: Sidra loves the bag too.
Now I should make up a pattern for the matching wallet.
Do you have a pattern of this up on any websites?

Nice bag. Where did you get that "Liner" binding?
